<p>Hello, I have finished some of my college application and am ready to send them. However my family cannot afford to pay $60 for each college. I live in India. In the payments page I noticed apart from credit card/checques some options are NAFAC collegeboard waivers. But these two are not applicable to me as I am international. However the last payment option in the common app says 'other fee waiver' does anyone know what do I have to do to use this option(like do I get my conselour to submit a letter or do i send the colleges my income tax). I know each college may differ in their answers, but what do you guys think I need to do?</p>
<p>Students who do not qualify for NACAC waivers are welcome to have their college guidance counselor submit a fee waiver request to the college on the student’s behalf. This would apply to both domestic and international students.</p>
<p>Whether or not the college chooses to grant a fee waiver is, as you’ve said, up to the college.</p>
<p>You might find the [Indian</a> student sub-forum](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/india/]Indian”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/india/) to be helpful with any other questions you may have about the application process.</p>
<p>thanks. will look into that. So do I have to send this letter separately by post? or is there somewhere in the common app I can do this?</p>
<p>You need to email each admissions office separately, and ask them what they want you do do. Do not be surprised if each of them requires something different.</p>
